Abstract:
The present invention provides a starch-based moldable play composition, including: corn starch; mineral oil; propylene glycol; glyceryl stearate; sodium laureth sulfate; sodium chloride; potassium sorbate; phenoxyethanol; water; fragrance; and pigment dye, selected from the group consisting of yellow 3, yellow 4, red 14, red 17, blue 1, blue 2, and titanium dioxide.
Abstract:
Personal cleansing bars having a relatively high moisture content are made by forming a soap composition comprised of a neutralized tallow-free fatty acid mixture having an iodine value of less than about 7 and an alkyl polyglycoside of the formula IR.sub.1 O(Z).sub.a Iwherein R.sub.1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; Z is saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms; a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6. The soap composition is then finished to produce a bar having from about 15% to about 30% by weight of water.
Abstract:
A translucent detergent bar is provided containing with respect to the total weight of the bar 25 to 34 wt % soap, 5 to 15 wt % alcohol, 15 to 30 wt % sugar and/or cyclic polyol, and 15 to 30 wt % water, the soap comprising a soap mixture consisting of 18 to 26 wt % soluble soaps and 8 to 16 wt % insoluble soaps calculated with respect to the total weight of the bar. The bar has good user properties and yet can be a low cost bar due to its relatively low soap content.
Abstract:
A process for making hard, translucent, high moisture soap bars at 18-27% moisture. These soap bars are produced by varying the conditions of vacuum drying such that the crystalline structure of the soap remains small thereby producing better translucency of the soap pellets. These soap pellets that when compounded through conventional soap finishing equipment produce hard, machinable, high moisture, translucent soap bars.
Abstract:
A translucent antibacterial soap is made by a process which includes dissolving a normally solid antibacterial material which is resistant to heat and alkali, e.g., 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy diphenyl ether (THDE), in a mixture of components for making such translucent antibacterial soap, which components include soaps of higher fatty acids in liquid form, such as with water in kettle soap, and converting said mixture to transparent soap cakes, preferably by a process which includes partially drying the mixture, working it and extruding it to a bar form, which bar may be cut to length and pressed into the final desired translucent antibacterial soap cakes.Preferably, the antibacterial compound, in powder form, is dissolved in a superfatting agent, such as mixed tallow fatty acids and coconut oil fatty acids and/or lanolin fatty acids, and then admixed at elevated temperature with the soaps of higher fatty acids that are a major constituent of the soap cakes to be made. In some instances it may be desirable to at least partially neutralize the fatty acids in which the antibacterial material may be dissolved and such neutralization can be effected prior to or after admixing of the mixture of fatty acids and antibacterial compound with the main body of the soaps of higher fatty acids.The invention may be employed to make transparent soaps, colored transparent soaps, pearlescent-translucent soaps, translucent combination soap-synthetic and pearlescent-translucent combination soap-synthetic detergent tablets, and other soap and/or synthetic detergent products containing translucent and/or transparent components and compatible antibacterial materials.
Abstract:
Compositions and processes for the continuous production of transparent soap which provides an enhanced product and at a lower unit cost than heretofore obtainable. Stoichiometrically balanced blends are passed through a series of preheated mixing tanks into molds which are thereafter chilled to solidify the individual bars.
Abstract:
Skin cleansing compositions comprising a soap or synthetic detergent and finely divided alkaline earth metal carbonates. The alkaline earth metal carbonates produce frictional forces on the wet rinsed skin which users associate with a feeling of cleanliness.
Abstract:
Translucent soap cakes, which preferably are transparent, are made from mixed tallow and coconut oil soaps (or equivalents), lanolin soap and/or lanolin fatty acids and/or lanolin and/or other suitable derivative(s) thereof, and mixtures thereof, and water. Soap cakes or tablets of improved translucency (transparency) result when the lanolin soap, lanolin fatty acid, lanolin or suitable derivative thereof, or any mixture thereof is mixed at elevated temperature with substantially all of other soap cake components, except perfume (and possibly some other relatively minor constituents), and the resulting mixture is partially dried at elevated temperature, worked, extruded, cut into blanks and pressed to shape. The translucent soap cakes resulting, which may preferably be superfatted and contain a suitable antibacterial component, lather well, are of stable translucency on storage and are desirably mild to the skin. Translucency of the product may be further improved when there is also present in the soap cake formula a soap crystallization inhibiting polyol of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, such as glycerol or sorbitol.Also described are translucent soap-synthetic detergent cakes, variegated and at least partially translucent soap cakes and soap-syndet tablets, and pearlescent and at least partially translucent such products. Improved manufacturing processes are disclosed and an improved method for measuring product translucency is described.
Abstract:
A free-standing lavatory cleansing block for immersion in the cistern of a lavatory comprises a shaped body (1) formed of a slow-dissolving cleaning composition containing at least one surface active agent and a tablet (2) comprising a bleaching agent embedded in or adhered to the shaped body.
Abstract:
A method for recycling soap chips in a particular structure including a container having a removable rack having four compartments and a heating element, the method comprising, placing the soap chips in the compartment, heating the soap chips, cooling the soap chips, removing the rack from the container and emptying out formed soap bars.
